Description
Steps to reproduce
- Have more photos in iCloud than fit in your iPhone.
- Enable backup of whole camera roll.
- It takes forever and never finished.
Expected behaviour
I hoped it will upload photos in smaller batches. But I get it might be complex, as a workaroud I'd accept better image picker when uploading, at least more elements on screen, so I could select more photos at once, or select whole month at once. I don't mind going throught that process. But I have 25K items in my phone over the years and it would take forever to go throught everything and select one by one. Please add at least a better image picker.
Actual behaviour
Backup never starts uploading anything
Screenshots
Just loading popup on settings screen.
Logs
No logs applicable
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
I consider this an absolute neccessity to enable smooth transfer from one cloud to another.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the whole-camera-roll backup from the settings screen, then trace the camera-roll backup and image-picker flows. The issue offers two possible outcomes—making large backups upload in batches or improving selection with more items or whole-month selection—so completion requires clarifying the intended scope and verifying that backup no longer remains stuck without uploading.
